Title: Use `font-lock' functions instead of `hi-lock-mode'

Using `hi-lock-mode' made the foreground color of all highlighted
symbols black, ignoring the underlying setting. Directly using the
`font-lock' functions avoids that issue.

Also clarified various docstrings and added the functions
`highlight-symbol-add', `highlight-symbol-remove', and
`highlight-symbol-highlighted-p' to highlight/unhighlight individual
symbols and check if symbols are highlighted.
